Awakening (Benjamin Dragon #1) | C.G. Cooper | Book Review

AWAKENING
(Benjamin Dragon 1)

USA TODAY & AMAZON BESTSELLING AUTHOR • ONE OF THE MOST EXCITING VOICES IN FICTION • C. G. Cooper is back with an adventure that is sure to keep kids and adults reading late into the night.

A bully thrown without a touch…A girl saved from certain death…Who is this boy named Benjamin Dragon?

What would you do if you found out you had special powers? Find out what Benjamin does when he’s given the chance to snatch life out of the greedy jaws of death itself. -AMAZON

This is my first freebie from Bookbub. The name suggests Dragons, doesn’t it? I will reveal that it does have Dragons, but I won’t reveal the type.

The story follows Ben, a young gifted ten-year-old adjusting to his latest move to a new school. He’s likable, he’s vulnerable, he’s different, and he’s gifted.

It’s this gift that is the focus of the story as it explores the trials of his journey to determine his path in life. Young Ben has some big decisions to make. It’s an engaging read and I did find myself reading it whenever I had the chance. (Make sure you keep an eye out for the Hagridy guy.)

Quite an enjoyable read that nicely sets up the series. Love the cover too. Book 2 is called Legacy.

What I’m currently working on

New York City has a secret.

The first book of my new YA series, SUBWAY | PALLIATOPIA, was released in April 2018. It’s an incredible story full of thrilling twists and suspense, where the characters find themselves in the middle of a nightmare beyond belief.

If you love The Hunger Games/The Maze Runner/The 5th Wave/Divergent, then you won’t be able to resist SUBWAY | PALLIATOPIA.

Change is also in the air for the QUEST series. I’ve decided it’s time to rebrand and refresh the series for an older teen/YA audience before I release Book 4, THE MISSING LINK. The newly rebooted QUEST series (including Book 4) will be out in late 2018.

I have redesigned the covers for my TIME SQUARE series. I think that they now reflect the fluidity, disintegration, and movement of everything through time.

Book 3 of the series, TIME SQUARE | TRIANGLE, will see Team ELMR head off on another incredible adventure. I hope to release it in 2019.
